A good habit to develop is to print out the toString() of the assembled queries, that'll get you going pretty quickly understanding what the query assembly is all about without having to wait for people to respond.
But the short form is that phrase queries require all the terms to be adjacent, which may be what you want but may not. BooleanQuery is just asking for all the terms. You should probably normalize them. Parsing is something like Query query = QueryParser.parse("your text here"); and the returned query is what you pass to the searcher. This latter will apply the analysis chains to your input and is probably perferred.
